Yara and Jovi have been together for over seven years
Jovi Dufren and Yara Zaya connected in 2018 on a travel dating app. The reality TV stars met in person three months later in Budapest, Hungary, and started dating long-distance, with Jovi living in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Yara in Kyiv, Ukraine.
They got engaged after about six months of dating, and Yara relocated to New Orleans in early 2020 on a K-1 visa. The 90 Day Fiancé couple tied the knot on Valentine's Day 2020 at a Las Vegas chapel. An Elvis Presley impersonator officiated their small wedding.

What happened between Yara and Jovi?
Jovi and Yara's constant arguments and marital challenges are not new to 90 Day Fiancé fans. Yara has often complained about Jovi's drinking habits and visits to strip clubs.
In 2022 episodes of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After season 7, Yara wanted to relocate to Europe to be near her family after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. During a trip to Prague, Czech Republic, the couple argued when Yara planned to go apartment hunting with her mother before informing Jovi.
Things nearly reached a boiling point during the couple's therapy retreat on 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort. In an August 2023 episode, Yara threatened to divorce Jovi if he did not seek help after he got drunk and brought castmate Angela Deem to their hotel room.
In a September 2025 episode of Happily Ever After, tension rose when Jovi commented on Yara's teenage appearance, saying she is unrecognisable after having work done. The Ukrainian native was not happy and admitted that it was hurtful because she had always had insecurities growing up.

Are Jovi and Yara having a second baby?
Jovi has been open about giving Mylah a sibling, but Yara is against the idea. The NOLA native said on a December 2022 episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After that he does not want to be an old dad. He also thought another baby would strengthen their marriage.
Yara Zaya was concerned about raising the kids alone because Jovi is always working, and she did not feel the marriage was stable enough for a second child. She explained in the confessional interview:
Hearing Jovi bring up another baby, it's like, I honestly don't know where it's coming from. I want another baby in the future, but it's definitely not a close future.... It's honestly the worst time to have any kids right now.
Yara admitted on 90 Day Fiancé: The Last Resort in August 2023 that she was secretly taking birth control pills. She later told Us Weekly in September that she did not regret doing it, but Jovi told the publication he was not okay with it and thought Yara should have talked to him first.

What does Jovi do for a living?
Jovi Dufren works in underwater robotics as a Remotely Operated Vehicle Supervisor in the oil and gas industry. The work requires him to stay about a month on a boat or oil rig and take the next month off. The long periods spent away from home have brought tension to his marriage.
As a reality TV star, Jovi also lands several influencer and brand partnerships. His wife, Yara, is using her 90 Day Fiancé fame to build her businesses in the United States. She launched the luxury pet accessories brand, Tesoro Collezione, and the online boutique, Yara Zaya Shop.

Yara and Jovi are now based in Miami
The 90 Day Fiancé stars relocated to Miami, Florida, in May 2024 after spending over four years in Louisiana since their wedding. Yara disliked living in New Orleans because of the swamp and humidity. They shared on Instagram that they moved to the East Coast because their daughter loved Miami.
After a lot of back and forth between Louisiana and Miami, we finally decided to make the move! It was a very hard decision to leave family and friends behind, but Mylah has been so happy here and just loving life.
The couple gave Access Hollywood an exclusive tour of the home in November 2025. Jovi returns to New Orleans regularly to visit his mother, Gwen Eymard. In February 2026, he made headlines when he was removed from the city's Nobu restaurant over a Wagyu dumplings argument.
From her social media updates, Yara may not be very fond of living in Florida anymore. She shared in a March 2026 Instagram video that she prefers Los Angeles because of the weather during her visit to the West Coast.

Despite challenges, Jovi and Yara seem to be working toward making their marriage work while travelling the world together alongside Mylah. They remain one of the few 90 Day Fiancé couples still together from the show's eighth season, alongside Rebecca & Zied and Julia & Brandon.
